From the moment I went vegetarian (now a vegan) I never cooked or touched meat. We even have separate pans, pots etc for meat as I honestly just can't stand it any where near me or my food. My partner was basically a cannibal when we first met but slowly slowly he started to change.

I think was because at first he would cook his meat separately then add it in after id made up my plate every night but I started making amazing tasting veggie only meals and it was less hassle when we ate the same ting lower food bill etc. now he loves veggie dishes, only eats meat about twice a week (which is the biggest achievement ever for him) and its only guaranteed free range. He also eats vegetarian cheese and drinks soy milk. Our daughter is young so we are just raising her vegan she won't even remember a time when she ate meat. :)

Also my partner watches documentaries with me which turned him against factory farmed meat. I suggest asking your family to watch them with you. Not to "convert" them just so they know what your all about now and why you have chosen this lifestyle.

I recommend watching:
Gary Yourofsky - the best speech ever
Earthlings
Farmageddon the truth about the food and dairy industry
101 reasons to go vegan - arff

Thanks Christine!
I didn't even have to watch anything, I was just reading about how the farmed meat industry works and that was enough for me. I might highlight some sections in the book and get my husband and daughter to read them because I know I couldn't watch the documentaries.

Thanks again :)
